ActiveX controls

After the iSketch homepage but before I type in my username, a page pops up saying "Click to run an ActiveX control on this page". I always push the x in the corner instead of "okay" but it doesn't say to push the "okay" button, just to click, so I'm probably doing what it wants anyhow. Any ideas what ActiveX controls are?

It happens to me too. I dunno what that's about, but it comes from your ActiveX controls options being on "prompt" rather than "enable" on your internet security options. Knowing the damage those scripts can do to your comp, keep them as such, isketch should keep running fine and it'll prompt you when a nasty script is trying to run on your computer. Not to worry.

It has to do with an issue with Eolas Techologies and Microsoft lawsuit. Eolas won and Microsoft had to change the way they handle ActiveX controls.

Basically ActiveX allowes you to view multimedia on web sites.

Thanks you two for clearing that up. I didn't mind clicking the button, I was just worried it was damaging my computer. And by the way....LLYIU! Is that you?
